2010 NBA Draft; You Are on the Clock: The Minnesota Timberwolves
Posted: 19th June 2010 by Josh Dhani in NBA
The 2010 NBA Draft is coming up. I'll be doing previews for as many teams as possible before the draft transpires. Then, once the draft is over on June 24, I'll be writing 60 articles for all 60 picks. I'll try to complete this series by October 27 or so. It'll be a fun project.
Currently, I am doing previews. Today, the Minnesota Timberwolves hold the fourth pick of the ...
The Minnesota Vikings Are Placing Their Faith In The Wrong QB.
Posted: 19th June 2010 by Brandon Skates in NFL
Let's get this out of the way during the first paragraph. The media, and not the Minnesota Vikings, are unhappy with Minnesota Vikings Quarterback Brett Favre's indecision to commit to the upcoming season thus far, and his apparent desire to skip training camp if/when he does return. Every player to speak on the issue has supported Favre's eventual return: including Visanthe Shiancoe , Jared Allen , and Kevin Williams , ...
Dan Hamhuis: Why the Trade Works for the Nashville Predators and the Flyers
Posted: 19th June 2010 by Bryan Thiel in NHL
While everyone in Montreal is still wringing their hands over the Jaroslav Halak trade, we must remember that life goes on in the NHL.
That is, unless you're a Montreal Canadiens' General Manager who trades a goalie. You'll probably still hear about this twelve years later.
And while things didn't get monumentally tougher in the East, the Philadelphia Flyers have strengthened their pedigree as the East's best before the 2010 NHL Entry ...
Ladies and Gentlemen, we return to our latest installment of "Rise Up: Why Atlanta is Better than". Last week we discussed why the Falcons were better than Minnesota (again: who can respect a coach who looks like a librarian?)
Many have called this a homerific column, I prefer to call it realistic. It's not just about the performance on the field, but everything else, from the organization, the stadium, and ...
Redskins Defensive Line: More To It Than Just Albert Haynesworth
Posted: 19th June 2010 by Jack Anderson in NFL
With all the talk surrounding Albert Haynesworth and his less than certain future with the Redskins, everyone is overlooking the fact that Washington has managed to compile a solid group of players along the defensive line. Vonnie Holliday , Adam Carriker , Ma'ake Kemoeatu , Anthony Bryant and Howard Green are amongst the new faces who will be hunkering down up front in the Redskins new 3-4 scheme. ...
2010 NBA Finals: What We Learned After Los Angeles Lakers’ 16th Title
Posted: 19th June 2010 by Eric Felkey in NBA
The NBA season has finally culminated, and now we have to wait an excruciating 128 days for the 2010-11 campaign to kick off.
Even though this year’s NBA Finals was anything but aesthetically pleasing, the level of competition was through the roof. Every possession was a battle, the intensity was unlike anything I’ve personally seen, and Game Seven provided one of the most dramatic and climactic final 24 minutes in the ...
A pop quiz for all the Detroit Lion cheerleading squad.
What fourth year wide-out is still characterized by using excuses?
What third year Tackle mimics a fairly tale of the cowardly Lion looking for some nerve in the Wizard of Oz?
What can’t miss QB who can take a hit, will lead the league in interceptions this year?
What aging left tackle will be the first to visit his QB in the emergency room ...
One of the biggest reasons the Packers had the No. 1-ranked rush defense and the No. 2-ranked overall defense was the strong play of their linebackers.
Nick Barnett played very well after coming back from a major knee injury, and Clay Matthews made the Pro Bowl with 10 sacks, a Packers rookie record. After the injury to Aaron Kampman, Brad Jones stepped in and the defense only got better. At times, ...
2010 NBA Draft Rumors: The Pacers Are Drafting Ekpe Udoh for Sure?

Okay, I am very confused with my draft analysis for the Indiana Pacers.
Now, today, I’m leaning more towards Ekpe Udoh.
Whoever the Pacers draft, I hope it’s either Ekpe Udoh, Xavier Henry, or Ed Davis. That’s all I want. One of those three guys at the tenth pick, I’ll take it.
The Baylor Bears power forward worked out for the team yesterday, and ...
